Speaker 2 (00:13):
We could be reading.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Your letter live on the air, just like we're going
to read this one right here, right now, and you
never know, it could be yours.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on tight.
We got it for you here. It is a Strawberry letter.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
All right, neph you, thank you. Before we get to
the letter, we're going to do a disclaimer here. Please,
if you have small children in your car, or you
know you don't want them to hear this one, now
would be a good time to not let them hear it. Okay, Subject,
parents do what you do. Subject, he has nothing to
be loud or proud about. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm fifty

(00:51):
two years old and on my third marriage. I have
grown children, and so does my new husband. One of
his granddaughters lives with us so she can go to
a special school for gifted kids. My husband knows she
is in the bedroom next to ours, but he still
likes to show out like we're newlyweds. He is loud
and wild and I have to cover his mouth and

(01:11):
turn the TV up to drawn out the noise. She
told her mom about and about it, and my husband
thought it was funny. He has no reason to be
loud or proud about anything he's doing sexually. He likes
to brag when he should just be quiet and be
grateful that he's getting some It's something that I have
to do as a wife, so I do it. We

(01:31):
had a short engagement and waited until marriage to have sex.
He is definitely not as passionate as my first husband
or packing like my second husband. I married for love
this time, and I chose the wrong man. Whoever said
that love conquers all was mistaken, because I want to
feel the love in ways that my husband can't give me.

(01:52):
The other day, we were hanging out with some friends
and he has He had his arm around me, telling
his friends, and he put that smile on my face.
This morning, his friends were high fiving him, but my
best friend was so tickled because she knows that I'm
considering getting a side dude.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I am only fifty two.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I need some good back bending sex with a little
mild choking. Every once in a while. My best friend
jokes about him being shorter than I am and said
that that might be why he's not good in the bedroom.
I don't think height has anything to do with it.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
What do I do? I can't cheat on him, So
what am I supposed to do? Put up with bad
sex forever?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, I mean, you're right, I don't think height has
anything to do with it, because you're both lying down.
You're both vertical, so you know you should be the
same size lying down. But I'm confused by this letter.
I'm really struggling with what to tell you because I'm
not sure what you want here. I mean, you basically
want a cure for bad sex in your bedroom.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
There is no cure. You just have to sit him
down and talk to him or whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
But you started off talking about your granddaughter staying in
the room next to your bedroom, and that led to
you saying the noise coming out of your bedroom didn't
live up to what was really going on in there,
and your husband should stop bragging about it so much.
Then you compared him to your two ex husbands. One
is passionate, the other one is packing. Your husband, you said,

(03:22):
is none.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Of those, but you should never do that.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
You shouldn't compare, and your husband will never be them.
I hope you know that you're gonna have to learn
to love him for him if you stay in this
third marriage. We're not judging you for having three marriages
or anything like that, but you can at least try
to make this one work. You said you married the
wrong man, so you know, I don't know if this

(03:46):
one's gonna last.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I mean, I know.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
You're frustrated, but you can start by telling your man
what you like outside of the bedroom, telling him what
you really want outside of the bedroom, because you said
you really don't want to cheat or get a side dude,
so you know you're trying to stay here and make
it work. Try harder, I mean, or else you're going
to be on your fourth marriage.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Steve, Well, I'm gonna tell you right now, you're headed
for marriage number four because this whole letter.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's about you and him. Now.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Is he wrong in this letter? Of course he is?
But are you wrong in this letter? You most certainly
are and you don't even know it. You're fifty two
years old, you're on your third marriage, you got grown kids.
Sold is your new husband. One of his granddaughters lives
with us, so she can go to a special school
for gifted kids. Okay, that's fine. You know, people kill

(04:40):
me what all this gifted kids stuff. You know a
lot of times your kids, yo, let me tell y'allself
about the gifted kids.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Sometimes your kids.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Really ain't that gifted. They're just smarter than your work,
that's all it is. The school's kid is now because
of technology, they appear to be more advanced than we
were as children. Well, they got more stuff to be
advanced towards. And this call technology. The baby probably ain't
that gifted at all. And if she all that gifted,
why she got her own apartment?

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Anyway? It's you.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
I don't care. Get tired all this with you. How
gifted you are? You ain't working? No, Well, she just
start making money. I don't want to hear about how
gifty you because right now you're doing them costing us
extra money. Are paying all this money for this extra schooling.
Why smart kids cost more. Get in here and get
some seeds so we can stay in this neighborhood we want. Now,

(05:31):
we got to put her in that certain neighborhood because
she's making all these aids.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
If you don't.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Get some seeds and come in here so we can
stay in this house, we in and you go to
school with everybody else.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
My husband knows she's in the bedroom next house. But
he liked to show off like we newly wears.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
He loud and wild. I gotta cover his mouth and everything,
drying out the noise.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
She told her mom about me and my husband, and
my husband thought it was funny. He ain't got no
reason to be loud or proud about anything you do
in sexually.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
He liked a brand when he ought to be quiet
and grateful.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
He getting some It's something I gotta do as a wife,
so I do it. We had a short engagement to
wait until we were married, till we had sex.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Now here's the problem.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
He is definitely not as passionate as my first husband
or packing like my second husband. I married for love
this time, and I chose you role man. Well, let's
get to what's really wrong with the letter?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
All right, Hang on because Steve will have part two
of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after
the hour.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
All right, come on, Steve. Let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is he has nothing to be loud or
proud about. And there is a disclaimer on this letter
for parents with children.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Well, well we gotta disclaim on this letter for parents
has got children in a car.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
But it's a child in this letter.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
So why were yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
So who we say even here for this baby in
the letter? He and all this this next though?

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Anyway, lady on her third marriage, she fits two years
old Maria her husband. Both of them have grown kids.
One of his granddaughters got to live with him because
she a special gifted child goes to a special school
for the gifted. I'm against this type of stuff right here,
because why I got to cost extra just cause you small.

(08:16):
Get your tail in here and get some seeds on
this report car like everybody else, so you can stay
in the house with us, and we ain't gotta ship
you off and pay this extra money.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
See, my grandson is in gifted and talented.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Okay, he ain't finna make no more money than my
sky behind.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I was in the special need class. Look at me, grandson.
He gifted what he gonna be.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Something?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I hope whatever.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Congratulations boy, And once again now yeah, well we'll see
how how gifted you like him. If they got to
he gotta start living with you so he can go
to the special school. We'll see how you feel about
this little gifted behind and then be helping him with
homework so he can get back up to that regular school.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
The man that she married likes to show off and
make noise, and knowing that the grand baby can hear him,
and he all loud, she gotta cover his mouth and stuff,
like they.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Newly wed the baby that went and told her mother
about it.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
He thinks it's funny because here now he brags about it,
and you're saying he has nothing to brag about. He
or to be quiet and grateful that he getting some
because it's something you got to do as a wife.
So I do it. Y'all had a short engagement. Wait
until you're married to have sex. But he's definitely not
as passionate as my first husband or packing like my

(09:41):
second husband.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
I married for love this time, and I chose the
wrong man.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Whoever said that love conquers all was mistaken because I
want to feel the love in ways and my husband
can't give me. So let's back up for a minute.
Why did you marry this man? You say you married
for love, which was a mistake, So why'd you marry
the other two?

Speaker 3 (10:03):
See?

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Your problem is you keep mad getting married for all
the wrong reasons. You married your first husband because he
was passionate about love, man. You married your second husband
because he was packing. That's for love, man.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
So now you're done married the third one for love?
Now you mad?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
This is fitting to end because you want to feel
love in the ways that your husband can't. No, no, no,
you wanna have sex in ways that your husband can't
give me. The other day we were hanging out with
some friends. He had his arm around me, telling his friends.
He put that smile on my face that morning.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Friends was high five in me.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
But my best friend was so tickled because she knows
I'm considering getting a side dude.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Wait a minute, lady, maybe this is why you, on
your third.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Marriage, your problem solving skills is shot, Like problem resolution
ain't what you do. I'm thinking about getting a side dude.
I'm only fifty too, and I need some good back
bend and set with a little mind choking.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Every once in a while. What oh, you need to
shut the.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Shop, they settled.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
Crazy god man, I was just trying to be current,
all right, yeah, because.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, you're here and here and then probably I ain't saying.
I don't know if he's backbreaking, but he bid though.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
He's strong and muscular, So I'm thinking, you know, good
dude right here choking every wine.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
You don't even you ain't even if you don't want
to do, got what you're gonna get?

Speaker 4 (12:00):
She's married, Then she said, my friend jokes about him
being shorter than I am, and I said that might
be why he's not good in the bedroom. Shirley said, say,
hype has nothing to do with it, because y'all be
laying down. But that's not all the time, though, sometimes
you have to stand up. I'm tell you right now,
if you short staying on your toes for a long time,

(12:22):
you're gonna pull a cramp. You're gonna pull a cramp
in your calf muscle because hard tiptoe, because if you
got tip toe, yeah, if you gotta get a CHILDI
horse trying tip toe, trying to reach everything, trying to
do what you boy do?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
You short boys A long time since I heard the
words Charlie.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
For now you know, you know now we are people
on this show that can tell you the best way
to go about it. I ain't never been shot, so
I ain't never had that. It ain't never been a
problem for me. We can lay down on stands, little
kid of baby. I could, I could, I can, I can,

options because I'm.
